A great place to sell old, seldom flown kites or to get great deals on used (gently flown) kites. Only registered users can see the Swap Meet section, let alone wheel and deal. 1000's (literally) of kites have changed hands thanks to the Swap Meet.There are several more benefits to being a registered user, but you'll have to join our little community to find out all the "secrets".Questions or concerns?

hi all the camera i ended up with is great but unlike my real point and shoot the finepix allows for A LOT of stuff.. i use the word stuff because i really dont know didly i have a great time with composition but i would like to know more about the stuff. the local cam shop wants 300 which at the moment i cannot afford i have found some good stuff on the web but i feel if i could find some sort of book along with the 180 freakin page manual i might have some fun anyway looking fora book recomendation thank you KO ps having a 15x zoom and viewfinder rocks

1 Take a picture of a white sheet of paper. (look for dark spots on image)2 Take a picture with the lens cap on. (look for light spots on image)3 Take a picture of a rectangular grid at wide angle and at full magnification (look for curved lines and/or vignetting on image)4 Take a picture at full magnification of a rectangular grid using one hand and using two hands. (look for motion blur in image) 15X is a LOT of magnification (usually set your camera on something)5 See how good the full auto mode is at figuring out exposures6 Try the strobe in total darkness to see if it has strong and weak areas

Looks to be free for anyone, doesn't even require a registered Sony camera. The user reviews were very complimentary, and those 4 subjects give you a very good start on understanding the controls you now have and how to use them artistically to your advantage. With these & your manual to see how to change those settings that they'll be discussing on your Fuji you'll have a good basic grasp of techniques.
